1. Draw from the center of a piece of white paper (usually A4 paper), leaving blank around. Express your central idea with images or pictures.
2. Use colors in the drawing process. Connect the central image with the main branch, then connect the main branch with the secondary branch, then connect the tertiary branch with the secondary branch, and so on.
3. Let the branches of mind map bend naturally, not like a straight line. Use one keyword per line. Always use images.
Concept and structure of mind map
MindMap (English name: Mindmap), also called mind map or brain map due to different translations, is an effective divergent thinking tool. Mind mapping is essentially a visual chart, which can restore the process of thinking and generating ideas in the brain. By capturing and expressing divergent thinking, the internal processes of the brain can be presented externally.
The benefits of mind mapping
1, which can make the thinking clear. Mind mapping is not only practical, but also can train our thinking. The relationship between the total score and the depth of each level is a good thinking hint for us.
2, can handle a lot of information at the same time. Mind mapping can stimulate infinite branches from any point. In this way, our minds will be used to thinking about many problems at the same time and paying attention to every aspect of a problem at the same time.
3. Free thinking is rich and not chaotic. Mind mapping is graceful and elegant, at the same time, there are chapters in chaos and orderly in dispersion. In this process, we will know how to walk back and forth better.
Common tools of mind mapping
The hand-drawn drawing of mind map is the most primitive drawing method, which pays more attention to inheritance and art; But in order to be practical, using computer software to draw mind maps is the most efficient method. Now many software manufacturers have developed mindmanager to meet the public's drawing needs, among which the well-known softwares are MindMaster, Edraw-Max, FreeMind, Baidu Brain Map and so on.
Due to different software development methods and user objects, there are certain differences between different softwares. MindMaster is the most suitable choice from the convenience of operation and platform (online version, computer, mobile phone).
